My group 7s:




Turns out I didn’t need to worry about sign up dates! These groups filled up fast!
 
Here are my first two cards! Now we just need a couple more players!

@catladybj - I hope you don't mind bugs! These are pretty innocuous ones at least! Going for a stamps within a stamp.

@AmethystStar - The playing cards that I planned to use for the ace of spades was actually undersized and this was the only deck I had with an ace of spades! I attached it, to of all things, the back of a 3 of diamonds. Little did I know! But it all worked out. The unicorn is based off a block image used for carving carousel horses. I tried to keep a few of the blocking marks since these were rather interesting. So not realistic, but also not cute.

Hopefully these both work.

Love it! That's exactly what I'm looking for. :love-heart: Great idea with the tree bugs! :glee:
 
Working on the logging ATC now and will send soon! I asked my dad for advice on what to paint for "logging" since he's a retired (professional) lumberer and also used to be an (amateur) artist back in the day. He said "the forest on a sunny snowy day, with long shadows from the trees" which sounds beautiful but I don't think I can realise it so I'm doing something else. But a hot tip if any of you need inspiration on that!

Ps. Is "lumberjack" a normal word in English or is it tainted from Monty Python? I feel like when I Google it I get mostly "performative" images, bearded guys dressed up in flannels. What do you call a person who cuts down trees with a chainsaw, professionally?
